Multi-Layered Network Resources for Programmable Real-Time Networks |
Outages from various telecommunications network-impacting events over the last couple of decades provide observations which can help categorize vulnerabilities and provide concepts for improving resiliency and availability of networks in an automated or programmable manner. Network-impacting events can be caused by a variety of events including natural causes, man-made or terrorist induced and geopolitical based. Such events cause service disruptions and outages, can be short or long term, and last until restoration or re-routing takes place. When external events cause network disruptions, users lose valuable communications services. Analyzing the telecommunications model that includes client devices, access, back-haul, transport, core and applications services in several past disasters can highlight vulnerable areas. Studying not only individual disasters, but the larger trend, can help to identify common issues. Designs can then be considered to identify and implement parallel network resources in each of these areas. Identifying these additional layers of network resources can then lead to developing Real-Time Programmable ways to implement them. |
